Jesus Christ is not only a historical fact but a present-day, living reality.

All of Christianity rests upon the truth that Jesus rose from the grave victorious

and is now seated at the Father's right hand as our personal Advocate.

"Fear not; I am the first and the last:

I am he that liveth, and was dead;

and behold, I am alive forevermore,

Amen."

Revelation 1:17b, 18 {KJV}

Christ Arose

Written by

Robert Lowry, 1826 - 1899

Low in the grave He lay - Jesus, my Savior!

Waiting the coming day - Jesus, my Lord!

Vainly they watch His bed - Jesus, my Savior!

Vainly they seal the dead - Jesus, my Lord!

Death cannot keep his prey - Jesus, my Savior!

He tore the bars away - Jesus, my Lord!

Chorus

Up from the grave He arose,

with a mighty triumph o'er His foes;

He arose a Victor from the dark domain,

and He lives forever with His saints to reign,

He arose! He arose!

Hallelujah!

Christ arose!

"He is not here: for he is risen, as he said.

Come, see the place where the Lord lay."

Matthew 28:6

Weep No More

written by

Steve Pettit

Mary went to the tomb in the morning,

But the stone had been rolled away.

So she hurried to tell the disciples,

Christ was taken from where He lay!

As her tears flowed like rain in the garden,

A clear voice sweetly called her name,

Then she turned, for she knew it was Jesus;

He's alive just as He claimed!

Place your faith in the blood of the Savior,

And your sins will be washed away.

All the power of death will be broken,

Oh, rejoice, for He lives today!

Oh, weep no more in sorrow,

He has risen and conquered the grave!

He's alive!

It is true as He promised,

Oh, rejoice, for He lives today!

"Now if we be dead with Christ,

we believe that we shall also live with him:

Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more;

death hath no more dominion over him."

Romans 6: 8 - 9

Look, Ye Saints! the Sight is Glorious

Written by

Thomas Kelly, 1769 - 1854

Look, ye saints! the sight is glorious:

See the Man of Sorrows now;

From the fight returned victorious,

Every knee to Him shall bow:

Crown Him! crown Him!

Crowns become the Victor's brow.

Crown the Savior! angels crown Him!

Rich the trophies Jesus brings;

In the seat of power enthrone Him,

While the vault of heaven rings:

Crown Him! crown Him!

Crown the Savior King of kings.

Sinners in derision crowned Him,

Mocking thus the Savior's claim;

Saints and angels crowd around Him,

Own His title, praise His name:

Crown Him! crown Him!

Spread abroad the Victor's fame!

Hark! those bursts of acclamation!Hark! those loud triumphant chords!

Jesus takes the highest station-

O what joy the sight affords!

Crown Him! crown Him!

King of kings and Lord of lords!

My dear friends,

allow the precious truth of Jesus Christ's resurrection to thrill your life anew.

Sing with great triumph, "Christ arose!"

We serve a living Savior-

He is the King of kings and Lord of lords!

God sent His Son - they called Him Jesus:He came to love, heal, and forgive;He lived and died to buy my pardon,an empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.Because He lives I can face tomorrow;because He lives all fear is gone;because I know He holds the future,and life is worth the living just because He lives.

. . . . . .The Home. . . . . .

“I believe that a godly home is a foretaste of heaven. Our homes, imperfect as they are, must be a haven from the chaos outside. They should be a reflection of our eternal home, where troubled souls find peace, weary hearts find rest, hungry bodies find refreshment, lonely pilgrims find communion, and wounded spirits find compassion.” -Jani Ortlund
